Welcome newbies.
Grab a chair. Have some fun.
juju, for your edification, Coldfire is universally dispised, and only two people have any use for Demo. They’re prison pen pals of his.
And stay away from Veb. She’s a ball breaker.
pipefitter, crisantemi, jujubee, to answer jujubee’s question:
Everyone is your enemy. Never turn your back on a thread. I urge you to form a tripartite alliance and go everywhere in threes.
picking up a distinct troll vibe won’t say who from 
Sorry, Man. I work alone.
dun dun dun dunda dun dun dun dun bweedlebummmmm bweedlebummmmm (mission impossible theme music)
All right, dammit. You regs have cornered 3 newbies and still haven’t gotten any beer from them yet? What gives? You people are really slippin’ Am I gonna have extract the honoraria encomia from the tyros?
Again, welcome pipefitter, and pay no attention to VB. 
You sing in my consciousness like a counterpoint to my life.

You newbies DO know about the initiation ceremony … right?
What initiation???
:eek:
Listen up.
You have to take your shoes and socks off and type your next post with your toes.
We expect a few mistakes, but keep it reasonable.
And no cheating. We can tell.

Well, Coldfire is quite the little shit, and Veb is a ball breaker(Ball Breaker would be a definite euphemism in this case), but the worst thing you can do is spell poorly here. We’ve given Wally dispensation for a single misspelling per post due to his heart condition, but please, don’t follow his example.
BTW Wally, don’t talk shit about Bubba and Crazy Earl. They’re very protective of me…
Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
when I said I’d like to smash every tooth in your head.
I misspelled despise.
I feel so… so… cheap.
Is there anyway I can redeem myself in the eyes of the Dopers?
I’ll do the dishes, I’ll scrub the floors…

Hi Pipefitter. Welcome to the SDMB.
Okay, I’m completely freaking out here. I just took a look at your bio and you are living in my hometown! My parents still live there. I’m only about 20 minutes from your house!
Okay, get that scared look off of your face. I’m really harmless, just ask Unclebeer…
Okay, so don’t ask Unclebeer. Don’t believe any of those nasty things he may have to say about me, especially anything to do with (mumble)

Thanks, Billdo.
I really appreciate the explanation. I usually post on the Xena Warrior Princess board–I’m a big fan of the show–and its trolls tend to be racist homophobes.
I had never heard the term sock puppet, though. I asked one of my buddies from the Xena board and she started talking about kindergarten and shoebox theaters.
Honey, don’t listen to those two, you never know what they might say or do next.
Calm down, it’s ok, it’s ok. There, there.

Hi! to all the newbies here! howdy, howdy!

OK so where are you from, and I will take your word for it that you are harmless.
Pipefitter, according to your bio, you live in Roseville, Mi. Is this correct? Because I spent ten years of my life there, went to Eastland Junior High and Carl Brablec High School (now known as Roseville High School). Most of my friends still live there. My parents and brother still live there. I was just surprised to actually see somebody on the MB who is from my area of the state. There are a few Dopers who live in Michigan, but none of them really live anywhere around here (the closest ones I know of live in Royal Oak and Troy).

Hi to all you newbies! I welcome ya’ll from the exalted heights of my–hmm, gotta check–well, call it between 30 and 40–posts.
I think all of our trolls tend to be racist homophobes, too, although it’s important to remember here at the SDMB that not all racist homophobes are trolls. I’m not naming any names…
I noticed that Crisantemi never really got an answer to the question, “What’s a frood?” A reply that merely includes a reference to Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters isn’t necessarily going to help. I know the feeling of sitting through a discussion and not “getting” a key term (I just found out yesterday what MST3K means, and yes, thank you, I do live at the bottom of a mine shaft.)
